Escaped Wallaby Rex Recaptured Near New Jersey Walmart, Back at Sanctuary

The sanctuary says he will rest for a few days before greeting visitors.

Overview

  • Rex left Lots of Love Farm in Williamstown after a barn gate was inadvertently left unlatched Monday night.
  • Multiple sightings followed, including a report around 9:05 p.m. Tuesday when he narrowly avoided being struck by a vehicle.
  • Local residents located him about a mile from the sanctuary near a Walmart parking lot Tuesday night and helped secure him until staff arrived.
  • Monroe Township police aided the search but said their impact was limited as poor weather grounded a drone.
  • Lots of Love Farm reports Rex is in good condition and has scheduled a welcome‑home event after his brief rest, with public viewing to resume Friday.
